I have had my iPOD Nano for about 4 months and all of a sudden, one of
the headphones stopped working. So I tried to change the headphones
three times, but only one earphone plays music. The other plays music
but it is very faint. I figure that it is a problem with the actual
iPOD. Anyone know iPOD troubleshooting???

No techies on JSH??? Que triste...

get a program for 30$ called podmaxx transfer pics from ipod to computer
then erase ipod and re upload all to ipod

There's lots of techies on here, but you may have to wait a full day to
give them all a chance to read your post.

>> only one earphone plays music.

This sounds like a hardware issue to me, unrelated to software but
completely related to headphone port on the Nano. If it was a larger
device, you (or a friend) could grab a soldering iron, take it apart an
ensure the connections are solid. On a Nano? That tiny, annoyingly
compact device will be hard to repair - you might end up taking it in to
Apple. Is it under warranty?

Check you mail, I hope this information helps.

I typically do not deal with ipods at this point but it seems to me that
if you are only getting sound on one ear not the other there is a
problem with the connection making contact with the bands on the plug.

When you changed out the headphones did you use ipod headphones as they
may actually be different to be propriatary to apple. The bands on the
plug have to line up to make contact.

The only other hardware issue that could be causeing the issue is if the
actual spring loaded wire inside the ipod connection was broken, not
making contact or shorted.

You can try the software answer it mayhelp but it sounds to me like a
headphone connection issue from here.

Personally I do not log on very regularly these days as I am trying to
get my life back togeather. Besides this is not really my techie field
of interest. I am more into programming and web design thee days since I
gave up network administration on a corperate level.

Have you tried using another pair of headphones? If so what was the
result?
